^ A common misconception. Some of them take place in Infinities, some take place in "real" SW; basically it's up to personal preference as to which are considered real or Inf (or up to authors of reference guides when they decide which stories to include).

And there were quite a number of Jedi who survived in the EU, although apparently most believed they were the only ones to survive:

Not sure if this belongs here, but since we're talking about Jedi going into hiding.... We were watching ANH last night and something so simple struck me. If Obi-Wan was in exile why did he continue to wear his Jedi Robes? Are they not a dead giveaway? I have not read much EU but wasn't there a bounty placed on any remaining Jedi? I always felt that a Jedi's robe was tantamount to a Priest's collar -- it is universally (gallactically? recognized. "Someone here to see you honey, Jedi, by the looks of him"

The thing I noticed with Obi's Robes is that Jedi robes in general seem to be a common looking outfit. For instance, check out Uncle Owen. His outfit is really not terribly off from a Jedi's...

Luke's shirt's very "Jedi-ish" too...

Throughout Mos Eisley, there's a lot of random people that wear robes that look a lot like a Jedi's, at least to me they do. Maybe those robes are just what people with a little less cash tend to wear?

True -- the robes do seem to be pretty common attire. I didn't see the forest for the treest But what, then, sets a Jedi apart in appearance (other than the lightsaber?) What makes them so easily recognizable? Their lightsabers aren't always apparent, are they? It seems more common in the PT for Jedi to wear the robes while everyone else wears more fashionable attire.

I dunno. In Episode I, Qui-Gon goes relatively undetected for the most part until Ani spots the saber... The Poncho was not much of a disguise, so perhaps that's just the "style" some people choose while others have Solo-ish outfits, and others like the "flightsuit" look? It seems fashion's about as diverse as the # of different species in the galaxy.

This could be some pro's in the argument that Jedi survive and are able to go into hiding. The Empire maybe institutes stricter means of identification... Somewhat (to draw the Nazi parallel) like the Nazi Party's strict ID checks and such, and the need for any person to offer up ID at any point it is requested. It adds an interesting variable to the Empire's growth.

If someone is using it to describe the Nazi party/regime in Germany (as Jesse has in his post) as a historical reference AND it's in good taste, that is OK.

If someone uses it as a deragotory term (ie, something like "Figure Nazi") or uses it to defame someone (ie, "don't be such a Nazi"), it WILL be edited or removed if it is brought to the staff's attention.
